Agriculture Science is an important factor in the lives of the farmers of today. Thus, the agricultural de- partment trains our future farmers in the proper methods of present day farming. Through clubs and activities, as the F.F.A., the students who have chosen this course as their vocation, apply the knowledge that they have gained in the class- room. Through the efforts of their teacher, they gain a good foundation to become the future farmers of America. Englash Our native language is the basis for our entire education, and the means of expressing our- selves. Each and everyone of us must be able to speak his language fluently and correctly. The English department has worked efficiently in de- veloping this ability in the student. It has worked to instill in the student, an appreciation and en- joyment of classical and modern literature, in the hope that this appreciation will someday be an aid to self betterment. 18 Reading Laboratory Aisle: C.

Soczal Studzes As the Seniors close the doors on the high school life, they can glance in retrospect at their years of education in the field of citizenship. They have progressed from the study of the home, to the community, from there to the state and na- tional scenes, and finally to the study of the inter- national setting.

Through these two classes, health and physical education, we learn to develop healthy bodies and minds for the coming events of our adult lives.
